5/5     I was in Berkeley last Thursday and tried to park on southside
        and about 75% of the parking meters were broken. WTF? is this
        a recent thing? is it something everybody knows about and
        ignores?   -alum who hadn't been to southside in a while
        \_ I've been told that people break them on purpose on occasion
           to get free parking. It is nice for me, because if I drive to
           karate I have to be there for a bit more than two hours, but
           mostly before the meters are enforced, which means you pay
           for time you don't have to, and have to come out to put more money
           in or hope the metermaids miss the few uncovered minutes. </rant>
           \_ Free parking? If you park at a broken meter you get ticketed.
              I've been there and done that. --dim

        \_ You might have missed the point.  Hiring a chauffeur to drive your

2/10    About the Lexus that crashed because of (supposedly) a stuck
        accelerator padel, why didn't the driver simply put the transmission
        in Neutral?  If the cop passenger had time to press at least one
        button to dial 911, wait for the call to be picked up, and had a
        10-second-plus conversation with the operator (which was played back
        in media reports), wasn't there much more than enough time to tell the

1/21    The area around Fruitvale Bart in oakland, is it relatively safe?
        I am buying stuff on craigslist from a guy 2 blocks from the
        station around Sat noon. Don't want to walk into the wrong
        neighborhood you know. ;)
        \_ It is safe in the daytime. -ausman
